School Psychologist

About Us: Love Justice International (LJI) is a Christian nonprofit driven by a singular mission: to share the love of Jesus Christ by fighting the world’s greatest injustices. We pursue this calling through two primary efforts—our expanding anti-human trafficking work and the care of orphaned and abandoned children.

We are looking for faithful, compassionate, and mission-driven problem-solvers—people who think deeply about how to fight injustice and share Christ’s love in a broken world. This isn’t just a job; it’s a calling. If you’re searching for an easy, comfortable career, there are plenty of other options. But if you’re drawn to work that demands sacrifice, boldness, and faith, we invite you to apply and explore how you can be part of this mission.

Love Justice International has been recognized as a Best Christian Workplace for four consecutive years (2021–2024). Learn more about who we are, what sets us apart, and our open positions at lovejustice.ngo/careers.

What We Offer: Opportunities to genuinely change lives are rare; at LJI, that's exactly the kind of impact you can have. Our staff support and empower our frontline partners, enabling them to directly engage in life-changing work. Joining LJI means stepping into an opportunity to deeply impact lives by combating injustice and expressing the transformative love of Christ. At LJI, you'll be part of a connected, purpose-driven team committed to impactful, kingdom-class excellence.

We offer competitive and thoughtful benefits packages tailored to the specific role and location of our staff. Benefit offerings are designed to support wellness, work-life balance, and overall staff care. Details of specific benefits will vary based on location, local standards, and applicable regulations.

Position Type: Full Time; Support Raised*; South Asia

*If hired, the candidate must raise financial support to cover their own salary, benefits, and expenses. This is a way for the body of Christ to come together in the fight against injustice. LJI will provide administrative support, prayer, and resources—including guidance from our Support Raising Coach— to help build a support base. Please prayerfully consider whether you are called to step out in faith and raise support for this role.

Program and Position Overview: More than 15 million children worldwide are orphaned, and many more have been abandoned by their parents. These children are among the most salient examples of "the least of these" about whom Jesus speaks in Matthew 25:40. At LJI, we operate 17 family homes and one young adult hostel that provide care for over 200 orphaned or abandoned children in South Asia. Each home is overseen by house parents and at least one helper, and the entire program is supported by 12 national and international staff.  Our mission is to help them become difference makers for Christ by providing stable, loving, family-like homes that are developmentally enriching in every way.

To ensure excellence among our family homes in Asia and to prepare for possible expansion into new countries, Love Justice has developed 15 "core processes" to monitor each family home’s performance and compliance to the family homes standard. These processes involve a variety of different areas, such as Parent’s Interview & Recruiting, Counseling Needs Assessment and Plan, Child Protection, Family Home Operations, Malnutrition Checking, Children’s Future, and Training Manual. 

The School Psychologist will facilitate the continuous assessment and evaluation of any/all children living in LJI's family homes, including those who have experienced trauma and injury, and will train staff, teachers, and parents on how to effectively educate and interact with those children who possess learning disabilities, emotional trauma, disorders, etc. This position will require living in Asia (with extensive travel) and will report to the Director of Family Homes. Frequent home visitation will be essential.

Key Responsibilities: The School Psychologist will utilize strong cognitive skills, both qualitative and quantitative, to maintain and improve upon LJIs data-driven, multi-pronged approach to addressing our children's emotional and learning needs. Specific responsibilities of the position will include the following:

• Managing the psycho-educational evaluation and assessment process
• Procuring and analyzing comparison data between LJIs children and control groups from the community in varying aspects of the wholistic child
• Writing and presenting comprehensive evaluation reports
• Developing individualized education plans (IEPs)
• Helping teachers implement classroom accommodations
• Running school-wide mental health initiatives and training
• Collaborating with parents, teachers, and other healthcare providers
• Continuing to work with students to monitor their progress

Other Projects: Depending on the qualifications and passions of the candidate, this position may also include getting involved in developing, refining, and implementing other core processes and projects.

Christian Culture: The work at Love Justice International (including the duties listed above) is conducted within a culture that strives to emulate Christ and make Him first and central. As part of our team, we seek staff who embrace the following expressions of what it means to Abide in Christ, our first Global Value:
